THE  HOME-STUDY  SERVICE. 

i , 


THE  PURPOSE  OF  THE  HOME-STUDY  SERVICE. 

“Efficiency”  is  one  of  the  most  popular  words  of  to-day.  What  does 
it  mean?  As  used  by  successful  business  men  and  manufacturers,  it 
means  the  satisfactory  production  of  their  wares  with  the  least  possible 
outlay.  Old-time  methods  have  been  discarded,  modern  inventions  in 
machinery  have  been  introduced,  and  every  effort  is  being  made  to  pro- 
duce abundant  and  high-class  results  with  economy  of  effort,  time,  and 
material. 

This  wave  of  thought  is  rapidly  spreading  and  is  touching  every  line 
of  work  throughout  the  country.  Since  the  soil  is  one  of  man’s  great- 
est possessions — and,  figuratively,  is  the  factory  which  produces  the  food 
substance  for  the  world — surely  it  should  receive  the  most  thoughtful 
consideration  and  should  be  handled  according  to  the  best-known  methods. 

Thousands  of  young  men  and  women  are  pursuing  various  lines  of 
agricultural  training  in  colleges  and  universities,  and  the  fact  that  this 
interest  is  growing  by  leaps  and  bounds,  and  that  these  college-trained 
young  men  and  women  are  able  to  go  out  into  the  world  and  make  good,  is 
sufficient  argument  to  justify  all  the  effort  which  has  been  made  in  this 
line  of  work.  However,  there  is  a vast  army  of  people  who  for  many 
reasons  are  unable  to  attend  these  institutions.  It  has  become  one  of  the 
important  functions  of  the  colleges  and  universities  to  serve  these 
people,  and  this  has  been  done  by  adapting  courses  to  their  particular 
needs. 

Once  it  was  thought  that  problems  could  be  solved  only  in  the  class- 
room, where  the  subject  matter  was  chosen  from  a textbook.  To-day 
it  is  realized  that  the  home,  the  farm,  and  the  shop  are  calling  con- 
tinually for  the  solution  of  problems  upon  which  the  future  of  the  people 
of  the  state  depends.  A barren  soil,  an  unprofitable  herd,  an  insanitary 
home,  and  kitchen  wastes  are  but  petty  examples  of  the  innumerable 
problems  to  be  solved.  Years  of  experience  and  observation  have  en- 
abled many  to  solve  their  problems  with  some  degree  of  success.  How- 
ever, lack  of  scientific  knowledge  is  responsible  for  many  individuals  ex- 
perimenting extravagantly  and  often  uselessly.  A combination  of  ex- 
perience and  training  in  scientific  methods  would  make  the  solution  of  the 
problems  much  more  certain. 

Realizing  that  the  citizens  of  the  state  continue  to  be  learners,  even 
when  their  school  days  are  over,  and  believing  that  they  would  ap- 
preciate the  information  which  the  Agricultural  College  has  been  able 
to  amass,  the  Kansas  State  Agricultural  College  maintains,  as  a part  of 
the  Division  of  College  Extension,  the  Department  of  Home-Study  Service 
for  the  purpose  of  offering  practical  assistance,  not  only  to  the  young  men 
and  women,  but  to  all  other  citizens  who  care  to  take  advantage  of  the 
opportunity  for  help  in  their  home  reading  and  study.

THE  ORGANIZATION  OF  THE  HOME-STUDY  SERVICE. 

The  Department  of  Home-study  Service  of  the  Division  of  College 
Extension  was  organized  to  form  a close  connecting  link  between  the 
work  of  the  resident  classes  and  those  who  are  doing  extra-mural  work. 
The  instructors  employed  in  this  department  were  selected  not  only  be- 
cause of  their  technical  preparation,  but  also  because  they  have  made  a 
careful  study  of  the  methods  of  correspondence  teaching.  They  devote 
their  entire  time  to  this  work'  and  can  thus  give  their  students  the  ad- 
vantage of  the  help  of  a specialist  both  in  subject  matter  and  in  method 
of  teaching. 

As  all  work  described  in  this  bulletin  is  offered  for  credit,  it  comes 
under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  regular  heads  of  departments  and  deans 
of  the  College.  Students  desiring  advice  as  to  substitutions  or  con- 
cessions of  any  sort  should  take  up  such  matters  with  the  proper  dean. 

It  will  be  observed  that  each  division  of  the  College  has  one  or  more 
representatives  in  this  department.  While  such  representatives  are 
specifically  responsible  for  the  correspondence  teaching,  yet  they  come 
into  very  close  touch  with  the  resident  instructors  who  are  handling 
the  same  subjects,  and  they  have  full  advantage  of  the  research  work 
being  conducted  in  laboratories,  libraries,  seminars,  and  experiment 
stations. 

This  plan  of  organization  gives  every  student  a personal  represent- 
ative at  the  College  to  furnish  him  technical  information  in  a form  which 
can  be  most  readily  understood.  Since  this  plan  of  organization  was 
adopted  it  has  proved  its  efficacy  in  the  increased  number  of  students 
who  have  completed  their  courses  in  a satisfactory  manner. 

The  department  attempts  to  meet  the  widely  varying  needs  and  con- 
ditions of  the  different  classes  of  people.  To  make  it  practicable  for 
those  who  are  not  accustomed  to  regular  habits  of  study,  as  well  as  for 
those  who  are  studiously  inclined,  the  service  is  rendered  by  three 
different  methods : 

1.  Reading  Courses , each  of  which  is  devoted  to  the  discussion  of  a 
single  subject  or  problem  in  a simple,  brief,  and  nontechnical  way. 
Every  word  is  right  to  the  point  and  so  clear  that  it  can  not  be  mis- 
undersood.  In  order  to  make  these  Reading  Courses  of  the  greatest 
possible  value  to  every  home,  the  list  of  subjects  is  practically  un- 
limited, and  there  is  no  charge  for  the  service.  For  full  explanation 
of  these  courses  send  for  Part  I of  the  Home-Study  Service  Announce- 
ment. 

2.  Vocational  Courses,  which  are  complete,  comprehensive  courses, 
covering  a number  of  related  subjects.  This  line  of  service  is  adapted 
to  the  needs  of  those  who  are  ambitious  for  scientific  training;  it  is  the 
nearest  possible  home  parallel  to  a college  education.  For  full  in- 
formation concerning  Vocational  Courses  send  for  Part  II  of  the  Home- 
Study  Service  Announcement. 

3.  Credit  Courses,  which  are  offered  for  those  who  for  any  reason 
are  unable  to  attend  school  and  wish  to  do  work  of  a type  that  can  be 
used  for  college  or  high-school  credit.  These  courses  are  also  of  value

to  those  who  wish  to  use  their  time  to  advantage  when  school  is  not 
in  session. 

The  experience  of  the  many  people  who  have  successfully  and  pro- 
fitably completed  courses  offered  has  proved'  that  there  is  a demand  for 
the  kind  of  work  given  by  the  Department  of  Home-Study  Service.  The 
sole  purpose  for  which  this  department  exists  is  that  of  rendering  a serv- 
ice to  you.  If  you  fail  to  find  the  information  you  want,  write  to  the

CREDIT  COURSES. 

(Fee,  $10  for  a year’s  enrollment,  not  to  exceed  eight  semester  credits. 
For  nonresidents  of  Kansas  the  fee  is  $15  a year.) 

This  department  offers  credit  work  by  correspondence  in  two  general 
lines — for  entrance  credit  (regular  accredited  high-school  subjects),  and 
for  college  credit.  All  work  is  equal  in  extent  and  comprehensiveness 
to  the  parallel  resident  courses.  In  a general  way  the  same  prerequisites 
are  necessary  for  these  courses  as  for  high-school  and  college  courses 
in  residence. 

Correspondence  courses  have  advantages  and  disadvantages  when  com- 
pared with  resident  courses.  Among  the  advantages  is  the  fact  that  they 
can  be  taken  while  at  home  and  in  connection  with  other  necessary  work 
that  makes  impossible  attendance  at  an  educational  institution.  They 
also  have  the  advantage  over  class  work  of  requiring  the  student  to 
work  through  the  material  in  all  its  phases  and  details.  This  advantage 
has  been  well  proven  by  the  mastery  of  the  subject  matter  by  those 
who  have  completed  correspondence  courses,  by  the  ease  with  which  they 
have  met  their  examinations,  and  by  the  strength  shown  as  they  have 
continued  their  work  in  classes. 

In  the  organization  of  this  department  every  effort  has  been  made 
to  eliminate  the  disadvantages  often  found  in  correspondence-study  work. 
Many  of  these  disadvantages,  such  as  absence  of  laboratory  facilities, 
have  been  practically  eliminated  by  the  fact  that  no  courses  are  offered 
in  which  strictly  laboratory  work  is  required.  A plan  is  under  consid- 
eration whereby  certain  lines  of  work  previously  presented  only  through 
the  laboratory  method  will  be  handled  as  supervised  home  projects. 
Thereby  much  of  this  work  will  be  rendered  very  effective,  as  it  will  be 
done  under  actual  field  conditions. 

The  absence  of  library  facilities  is  reduced  to  a minimum  by  arrange- 
ments made  with  the  College  library  whereby  students  may  borrow  books 
for  a reasonable  length  of  time.  The  disadvantages  of  lack  of  personal 
contact  with  the  instructor  cannot  be  entirely  overcome  and  long  has 
been  considered  a great  obstacle  in  the  way  of  correspondence  work. 
This,  no  doubt,  has  been  well  founded  where  the  regular  resident  in- 
structors have  been  relied  upon  to  handle  correspondence  students  as  a 
side  line,  but  the  organization  of  the  Department  of  Home-Study  Service 
provides  an  independent  corps  of  instructors  for  correspondence-study 
work.  These  instructors  have  been  very  carefully  selected,  not  only 
because  of  their  special  preparation  and  experience  in  the  lines  which 
they  will  teach,  but  also  because  of  their  unusual  interest  in  and  fitness 
for  teaching  by  mail. 

The  work  of  the  instructor  in  this  department  is  not  merely  a matter 


Part  III. — Credit  Courses.

of  correcting  papers,  but  embraces  the  comprehensive  field  of  surveying 
the  needs  of  each  student  and  fitting  the  instruction  to  the  individual 
case.  Under  this  sort  of  guidance  the  student  who  is  out  in  the  field 
in  close  contact  with  the  practical  problems  of  life  may  do  excellent 
work.  The  increase  in  the  percent  of  students  who  have  satisfactorily 
completed  their  courses  since  this  plan  was  adopted  justifies  the  con- 
clusion that  many  of  the  disadvantages  of  the  older  system  of  cor- 
respondence instruction  have  been  overcome. 

These  courses  should  be  of  particular  interest  to  those  who  for  any 
reason  are  temporarily  unable  to  attend  high  school  or  college.  They 
also  offer  opportunity  for  the  ambitious  student  to  use  his  vacation  time 
to  advantage.  This  department  does  not  close  for  summer  vacation,  and 
therefore  provides  a year-round  school. 

THE  PLAN  OF  CREDIT  COURSES. 

Throughout  this  bulletin  the  term  “course”  is  used  to  refer  to  a 
single  subject  consisting  of  from  sixteen  to  twenty-four  lesson  assign- 
ments. 

The  credit  courses  are  divided,  for  convenience,  into  two  general 
groups — the  high-school  group  and  the  college  group.  Each  of  these 
groups  is  in  turn  classified  into  groups  of  courses  in  the  same  general 
field  of  work.  Wherever  conditions  will  permit,  the  required  courses 
named  in  the  general  College  catalogue  are  offered.  In  some  cases  this 
is  hardly  possible  by  reason  of  the  extensive  laboratory  and  field  work 
required.  Some  of  the  groups  should  be  particularly  valuable  to  the 
person  engaged  in  practical  work  in  the  field.  For  example,  the  agricul- 
tural courses  are  especially  valuable  to  teachers  of  agriculture;  the 
educational  courses  should  prove  particularly  attractive  to  public  school 
teachers  and  students  preparing  to  meet  the  requirements  for  state  certifi- 
cates. 

EXAMINATION, 

At  the  close  of  each  course,  before  a report  card  is  issued,  a final 
examination  is  necessary.  This  final  examination  may  be  taken  in  the 
office  of  the  Department  of  Home-study  Service  at  the  College,  or  arrange- 
ments may  be  made  by  the  student  to  take  it  locally  under  the  city  or 
county  superintendent  of  schools.  In  the  latter  case  the  examination 
questions  and  instructions  for  conducting  the  examination  are  mailed 
from  the  department  to  the  examiner,  and  the  student’s  paper  is  sent  in 
by  him.  This  final  examination  determines  entirely  the  final  grade  in  the 
course  reported  to  the  registrar  and  to  the  student.  The  preparation 
of  papers  is  required  throughout  the  course,  and  the  papers  are  read, 
graded  and  commented  upon  solely  as  an  aid  to  the  student  in  mastering 
the  subject  matter. 

This  form  of  study  work  gives  the  student  such  familiarity  with  the 
entire  ground  covered  in  any  course,  and  so  trains  him  in  expressing  his 
thought  in  clear-cut,  concise  statements  that  the  examination  presents  but 
little  difficulty.

GRADES. 

The  following  system  of  grading  used  in  this  department  is  the  same  as 
that  used  throughout  in  the  resident  classes  of  the  Kansas  State  Agricul- 
tural College. 

The  quality  of  the  work  is  designated  by  the  letters  “E,”  “G,”  “M,” 
“P,”  “C,”  “F,”  and  “U,”  having  the  following  significance  and  order  of 
rank: 

The  grade  “E”  designates  really  distinguished  achievement,  and  is  the 
net  resultant  of  exceptionally  good  mental  ability  in  conjunction  with 
serious  application. 

The  grade  “G”  represents  superior  achievement,  better  than  that  ex- 
hibited by  average  students,  but  not  distinguished.  It  is  recognized  as  a 
mark  of  considerable  honor,  and  is  the  resultant  of  high  ability  and  fair 
application,  or  of  fair  ability  and  serious  application. 

The  grade  “M”  represents  the  standing  of  about  half  of  all  students 
in  the  college.  It  means  achievement  equal  to  that  of  average  students 
and  includes  about  half  of  all  students’  grades.  It  indicates  neither  su- 
perior nor  inferior  accomplishment. 

The  grade  “P”  represents  achievement  of  a grade  below  that  of  average 
students.  It  indicates  a student’s  position  as  being  in  the  upper  part  of 
the  lower  fourth  of  the  class,  and  his  work  as  being  such  as  may  be  de- 
scribed as  poor  or  inferior. 

The  grade  “C”  meaning  conditioned,  is  the  symbol  used  to  represent  two 
types  of  inferior  work:  ( a ) That  which  is  deficient  in  quality,  and  ( b ) 
that  which  is  satisfactory  as  to  quality  but  inadequate  as  to  quantity. 

The  grade  “F,”  meaning  failure,  is  used  to  indicate  work  that  is  so  un- 
satisfactory as  to  require  that  the  work  be  repeated  to  receive  credit. 

The  letter  “U,”  meaning  unfinished,  is  reported  when,  in  the  judg- 
ment of  the  instructor,  the  student  deserves  further  time  to  complete 
work  which  has  been  interfered  with  by  illness  or  other  excusable  causes 
of  delay. 

This  is  the  system  of  grading  used  in  all  departments  of  the  College 
and  is  worked  out  on  a scientific  basis.  The  system  also  involves  a few 
points  as  to  the  distribution  of  grades,  which  it  is  necessary  for  the  stu- 
dent to  know  to  appreciate  their  significance.  The  letters  do  not  repre- 
sent certain  parts  of  a percent  scale,  and  cannot  be  expressed  in  percent, 
but  are  a measure  of  comparative  strength  among  students,  and  their 
values  are  such  that  among  a large  number  of  students  about  5 in  100 
would  be  assigned  “E,”  20  in  100  “G,”  50  in  100  “M,”  20  in  100  “P,”  and 
5 in  100  “F”  or  “U.” 

REPORT  CARDS. 

Whenever  a subject  is  satisfactorily  completed  and  the  examination 
passed,  a report  card  is  issued  showing  the  name  of  the  subject  and  the 
grade  of  work.  This  grade  is  turned  into  the  registrar’s  office  and  be- 
comes a matter  of  permanent  record  just  as  though  the  work  had  been 
taken  in  residence.  The  student  also  is  furnished  a copy  of  this  report. 

FEES. 

The  enrollment  fee  for  credit  courses  is  $10  a year.  This  rate  applies 
to  all  residents  of  Kansas.  (The  fee  required  of  nonresidents  of  the  state 


Part  III. — Credit  Courses. 


15 


ia  $15  a year.)  Those  who  may  be  only  temporarily  employed  outside  of 
the  state  may  enroll  for  the  regular  $10  fee  provided  they  still  claim  their 
citizenship  in  Kansas.  Enrollment  cannot  be  transferred  from  one  stu- 
dent to  another,  neither  can  any  portion  of  the  enrollment  fee  be 
refunded. 

If  a student’s  work  is  interrupted  by  protracted  illness  or  military 
service  he  may,  by  special  arrangements,  secure  an  extension  of  his  en- 
rollment period  without  payment  of  further  dues.  All  such  cases  must 
be  handled  individually. 

Each  student  is  expected  to  pay  the  postage  on  lessons,  manuscripts 
and  communications  sent  in  to  the  department.  This  office  will  furnish 
postage  for  the  return  of  all  such  papers  to  the  student. 

This  enrollment  entitles  the  student  to  as  much  work  as  can  be  satis- 
factorily completed  in  one  year,  not  to  exceed  eight  semester  credits  un- 
less the  work  is  of  a very  high  character.  In  such  event  special  arrange- 
ments may  be  made  for  a limited  amount  of  additional  work. 

TEXTBOOKS. 

All  credit  subjects  are  based  on  textbooks;  these  are  furnished  by  the 
student.  In  the  paragraph  explaining  each  subject  the  names  of  the 
textbooks,  the  prices  and  the  names  of  publishers  are  given  for  the  con- 
venience of  students  who  desire  to  order  their  books  directly  from  the 
publishing  companies.  To  assist  students  in  getting  the  proper  edition 
of  the  various  textbooks,  and  also  to  insure  prompt  delivery,  which  is 
hardly  possible  if  the  books  are  ordered  by  the  students  from  a distant 
company,  this  department  has  arranged  with  the  local  book  stores  to 
carry  a supply  of  all  texts,  any  of  which  will  be  mailed  to  students  at  ex- 
actly the  same  price  as  if  purchased  from  the  publisher. 

HOW  TO  ENROLL. 

In  general,  completion  of  the  work  of  the  eighth  grade  is  desirable  be- 
fore undertaking  any  of  the  high-school  courses,  and  completion  of  a 
four-year  high-school  course  before  registering  for  college  work. 

Students  who  are  doing  work  in  residence  at  the  Kansas  State 
Agricultural  College  or  at  any  other  educational  institution  may  not  be 
enrolled  for  correspondence-study  work  without  the  written  permission 
of  the  dean  or  other  proper  authority. 

Some  students  may  be  permitted  to  carry  two  courses  simultaneously, 
although  usually  this  is  inadvisable.  When  only  one  course  is  taken  the 
effort  is  concentrated  and  the  work  can  be  completed  in  a reasonable 
length  of  time.  Certain  courses  have  prerequisites;  where  this  is  the 
case  it  will  be  so  stated  in  the  detailed  discussion  of  the  course.  These 
requirements  must  be  met  before  enrolling  for  a course.  When  enrolling 
use  the  blank  found  in  this  pamphlet,  and  indicate  the  course  desired 
by  name  and  number.  Enclose  this  blank  with  the  amount  of  the  en- 
rollment fee,  which  is  $10  for  residents  of  Kansas  and  $15  for  nonresi- 
dents of  the  State.  All  checks  should  be  made  payable  to  Director  of 
Home-Study  Service,  Kansas  State  Agricultural  College.  If  textbooks 
are  to  be  sent  from  this  department,  enclose  separate  check  for  the  cost 
of  these  and  state  the  books  that  are  to  be  sent.  Never  include  payment 
for  textbooks  in  the  same  check  with  fees  or  other  expenses.

HOW  THE  WORK  IS  CONDUCTED. 

As  soon  as  enrollment  card  and  fee  have  been  received  at  the  De- 
partment of  Home-Study,  assignment  of  readings  and  full  instructions 
for  studying  and  preparing  papers  will  be  sent.  Assignments  No.  1 and 
No.  2 will  be  sent  first  and  additional  assignments  will  be  sent  as  rapidly 
as  they  are  needed.  This  plan  of  sending  out  new  assignments  only  as 
the  completed  ones  come  in  makes  it  possible  for  the  instructors  to  keep 
in  close  touch  with  the  progress  of  the  student  and  to  offer  from  time 
to  time  whatever  suggestions  may  seem  necessary  to  guide  the  student 
in  his  work.  As  a general  rule  a student  should  make  a careful  study  of 
corrections,  comments  and  suggestions  on  one  lesson  before  taking  up 
the  following  one.  A question  sheet  will  be  sent  with  each  assignment 
or  lesson,  and,  where  necessary,  a lecture  prepared  by  the  instructor  in 
charge  of  the  subject  will  be  included.  These  lectures  will  contain  help- 
ful outlines  and  explanations  of  the  subject  matter  covered  by  the 
assignment,  and  will  supplement  the  textbook  with  up-to-date  information 
and  applications  to  Kansas  conditions.  The  lectures  will  be  modified  from 
time  to  time  as  new  information  becomes  available,  so  that  students  may 
have  the  most  recent  opinions  of  the  specialists  in  charge  of  the  various 
subjects. 

The  progress  made  by  the  student  depends  entirely  upon  his  ability, 
preparedness,  and  application.  As  a general  suggestion  it  might  be  stated 
that  an  hour  a day  spent  in  systematic  study  should  enable  the  average 
student  to  complete  an  assignment  a week.  Students  may  work  more 
rapidly  if  their  opportunities  permit;  lessons  will  be  received  as  rapidly 
as  is  consistent  with  good  work.  Under  no  circumstances,  however,  will 
hastily  prepared  manuscripts  showing  superficial  knowledge  be  accepted. 

The  questions  accompanying  each  assignment  are  intended  to  help  the 
student  to  a better  understanding  of  the  subject.  After  careful  study 
of  the  assignment,  or  division  of  the  book,  the  student  should  write 
his  manuscript  for  that  assignment,  answering  the  questions  carefully 
and  concisely.  This  manuscript  should  be  mailed  to  the  Department  of 
Home-Study  Service.  All  lesson  papers  will  be  carefully  read,  criticized, 
marked,  and  returned  to  the  student,  with  such  comments,  suggestions, 
advice  and  additional  references  as  may  be  deemed  necessary.  This  plan 
will  be  continued  throughout  the  course,  and  each  student  should  feel 
free  to  ask  questions,  relate  his  personal  experience,  and  in  every  way 
possible  get  into  close  contact  with  his  instructors.  No  effort  will  be 
spared  by  the  department  to  bring  about  the  nearest  possible  approach 
to  personal  acquaintanceship  between  each  instructor  and  his  students.

HIGH-SCHOOL  COURSES. 

(College  Entranpe  Credit  Work.) 


In  offering  the  following  work  for-  high-school  credit  there  is  no 
intention  of  competing  with  the  high  schools  of  the  state.  It  is  not  the 
purpose  of  those  who  have  planned  the  work  to  present  a full  four-year 
high-school  course.  Students  who  have  opportunity  to  attend  local  high 
schools  should  by  all  means  take  advantage  of  the  opportunity,  for  in 
such  attendance  they  will  be  under  the  personal  direction  of  their  in- 
structors and  will  have  the  benefit  to  be  derived  from  association  with 
fellow  students,  as  well  as  many  other  advantages  which  will  be  helpful 
to  immature  students  of  high-school  age. 

These  courses  are  offered  as  an  aid  to  those  who  may  by  necessity  be 
temporarily  out  of  high  school,  who  may  not  find  the  work  which  they 
desire  offered  locally,  or  who  wish  to  carry  work  for  high-school  credit 
during  vacation  periods.  It  is  not  to  be  expected  that  a student  can 
progress  as  rapidly  by  correspondence-study  methods  as  he  can  by 
devoting  his  full  time  to  his  work  when  attending  high  school.  Any  stu- 
dent who  completes  a half  year  of  high-school  work  in  a year  by  cor- 
respondence may  feel  that  he  has  done  exceedingly  well. 

These  high-school  courses  will  be  especially  advantageous  to  pro- 
spective college  students  who  have  entrance  deficiencies,  and  to  public- 
school  teachers  who  may  not  have  had  the  opportunity  to  do  this  type 
of  work.  No  effort  has  been  spared  to  make  the  work  as  nearly  as 
possible  parallel  with  the  courses  offered  by  the  accredited  high  schools 
of  the  state.  The  same  textbooks  have  been  used  wherever  feasible  and 
the  credits  issued  by  this  department  will  be  recognized  by  the  colleges 
and  State  Board  of  Education.

ENGLISH. 

These  courses  follow  carefully  the  State  Course  of  Study  for  High 
Schools  of  Kansas  and  give  three  units  credit,  or  full  college  entrance  re- 
quirements in  English.  Each  year’s  work  includes  two  divisions:  the 
first,  composition;  the  second,  literature. 

FIRST  YEAR. 

PCE  1 — Grammar  and  Composition,  one-half  unit  credit,  20  assignments. 

In  accordance  with  the  State  Course  of  Study,  this  first  half  year’s 
work  in  high-school  English  consists  of  a study  of  grammar,  with  em- 
phasis upon  sentence  structure.

PCE  2 — Literature,  one-half  unit  credit,  20  assignments. 

In  this  course  four  books,  selected  from  the  list  of  collateral  reading 
as  given  in  the  State  Course  of  Study,  are  read  and  reviewed  and  the  fol- 
lowing classics  are  given  careful  study.

SECOND  YEAR. 

PCE  3 — Composition,  one-half  unit  credit,  20  assignments. 

The  first  semester’s  work  in  grammar  and  composition  is  a preparation 
for  this  course,  which  is  on  composition  and  rhetoric.  Rhetoric  has 
more  to  do  with  effective  writing  and  not  so  much  with  the  mechanical 
steps  of  composition.  In  this  course,  therefore,  the  study  of  effective 
writing  is  undertaken.

PCE  4 — Literature,  one-half  unit  credit,  20  assignments. 

The  last  semester  of  the  second-year  high-school  English  is  one  of  the 
most  interesting  courses  offered.  Four  books  from  a suggested  list  for 
collateral  reading  are  read,  and  written  reports  based  on  a carefully 
planned  outline  are  prepared.  The  following  classics  are  studied.
